Overview
PyLauncher for Maemo is a daemon to speedup Python applications. It's was implemented for the first time by Johan Dahlin (from PyGTK) and now rewrote in C, by INdT.
Only PyGTK applications can have some improvement since it pre-loads pygtk module (saving 2 seconds at application init time).
